Short stories told entirely through text messages. And you're the one texting back. A stranger next door heard your call end badly and has a bottle. Your ex is parked outside with your key still on the ring. Your best friend's fiancé is texting you at 1am, four days before the wedding. A locksmith says he changed your locks today. You didn't call one. You've seen chat stories before. They have billions of views, and in every single one, all you could do was watch. Not this one. Every story here is a real text thread that starts on its own, like a chat you weren't meant to see. Then the keyboard is yours. Type anything. They answer you, in their own voice, and they remember what you said. HOW IT WORKS • Stories text you first, at the hour they would • A few messages in, you take over: type anything or tap a reply • Characters flirt, push, lie, and react to YOUR words • Tap and hold any message to react, or swipe to reply to one text in particular. They do it back • No fixed endings: the whole conversation decides how it ends, and the story writes yours • Post how it ended for you, with a line of your own, and see how it went for everyone else in the Feed WHAT'S WAITING (WITH LEFT ON READ PLUS) • Strangers text you first, across romance, thriller, horror, mystery, drama and comedy • Or start a chat with anyone: every person who might text you is in Stories, with a face and a note on who they are to you • The ones who shouldn't be texting you: the ex, the trainer, the plus one, the wrong number that wasn't • Some of them text you over days: they leave, say when they'll be back, and pick up exactly where you left off • Group chats where everyone is typing at once • Phone calls that interrupt the thread when texting isn't enough • An ending written for your conversation, and their read on you afterwards • When it ends with the door still open, keep talking: the story carries on from where you left it • Tell us who you are and who texts you; the stories cast themselves FREE TO TRY, SUBSCRIPTION FOR EVERYTHING ELSE Left on Read is free to download and includes an interactive story to play.
